` Letters Patent No. 95,124, lated September 21,1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN CH'URNS.

` The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and part: of thesame.

t made certain new and useful Improvements in Ghurns ;v

and I do hereby declare that the followingl is a full `and cleardescription thereof, reference being had to `.the accompanying drawings,and` to the letters of reference marked'` thereon.

The object of this invention is to produce a churn cheap in itsconstruction, and efficient in'its action, easilycleaned, and easilyoperated. l

The nature of this invention relates to the devices used to operate thedas-her of a churn; andconsists chiefly in the construction ofaspirally-grooi-'ed rod, in

suoli wise that a set of' rollers'in the frame attached Vto the top ofthe churn, may, `in their action, revolve within jsaid grooved rod andturn the same; sa-id rod being yfurthermore connected, by a propercollar and pins,`to the dash'er, so that the whole, when operated i upand down by means of -a lever, may give a combined rotary andreciprocating motion to said dasher.

in the ordinary manner. `At thetop thereof', and properly secured to'the sides of the churn, is the upright frame' B, having side bars, b1and b2, and being connected with transverse bar (hat the top. V

Passing through the centre of said top bar G, the rod D, with its curvedgroovesd, (running screw Aline in for1n,) is guided.

`At its lowerend, said rod D is properly mortised, to

i allow it to p ass through a hollow s ocket,.D1, and rest intbecoupling socket D2, with"4 which it is secured by pin The connectionof said rod with the dasher-rod E,

is'then made, bythe pind2 passing through the coupling.'` socket D'l. 4Y

rIhe dasher-rod is guided through the lid F of the churn, and has at itslower end the cross-slats e, (or dashers,) with requisite perforations,as clearly shown in 'ii 2.

Tg operate 'said dasher E, I attach, by proper screws or bolts, ahaudlever, F, to one ofthc side bars b2 of Athe frame B, `and extend thesame to the hollow socket- D1, to which it is properly pivoted.

'In order that the grooved rod D, when operated by the hand-lever, maygive the required reciprocating motion to the ohnrn-dasher E, as in thenature of this invention, I have arranged in the top bar ofthe fran-1e,the inclined lnortised slot c, in which, upon proper pins, the rollers cand c2 freely revolve.

`Said rollers are so inclined that they revolve within the grooves d ofthe rod D, causing the same to rotate..

It is thus evidentthat by the reciprocating motion of the dasher E, thebutter globules in the milk will be effectively broken, and butterformed speedily.

` This effective action is due to the combined reciprocating upanddownmotion of the dasher and its rotary movement, achieved as aforesaid.

Byremoving the pin dz, the dasher maybe readily disconnected from therodD and cleansed; the dasher may then,valso, be used to gather up thebutter, in the ordinarymanner. I

' Having thus fully described my invention,

IVhat I claim, .isy 4 The rod D, having spiral grooves, combined withthe rollers c1 c2, the socket D, dasher-rod E, and dashers e, andactuated by the lever F, substantially as and for `the purposes setforth. A

. In testimony of said invention, I have hereunto set i P. .T.- MANNING.v
